Calculating the Battery Capacity
Use this table to determine the battery capacity needed for the system:  
Table  16  Battery Calculations
The following notes apply to Table 16:
• Up to 12 AH batteries can be located in the AFP-100 backbox.
• 12 AH to 18 AH batteries require the Notifier BB-17 battery box.
• The AFP-100 main circuit board allows disabling of AFP-100 battery charger if using the CHG-

Standby Load 
Current (amps)
[          ]
X Required Standby Time in 
Hours (24 or 60)
[          ] = ___________
Alarm Load 
Current (amps)
[          ]
X Required Alarm Time in 
Hours (5 min. = 0.084)
[          ] = ___________
Add Standby and Alarm Load for Required 
Ampere Hour Battery = ___________
Multiply above total by the Derating Factor             X 1.2
Total Ampere Hours (AH) Required = ___________
